Thank you for the post and your research on it StrangeGlove! My opinion of you has altered, not 180' butat least 90'! I am a history buff myself. How on earth could a team that far back without very good ice toskate on and with a relatively small comparative population as opposed to Ottawa; take on a team that had all the history and advantages that our young sport at that time seem to offer them? I will offer my opinion. British Columbians were far more physically tougher and had way more obstacles to overcomebeing new pioneers to the land and such. They were proud of their achievements and deservedly so. Strong Men. No wimps allowed. Tough women too. When money came along; the Easterners took control.That is their nature. Whatever; Vancouver owned the Cup!

I may be wrong but I'm guessing that "Topper" was born back East and is acloset "Hab" fan. He just seems to have that attitude. He likes the Canucks but does not bleed blue and green in his heart. Am I right "Topper" ?

Oh well, at least we all know the truth now. I can smell out Hab and Leaf fans from afar. It's not your fault. It's just the way you were raised.

I'd rather not.....it would make us the franchise to have the longest cup drought.....I prefer Toronto own that.
